Former NCAA baseball player, current collegiate Mental Performance Coach
My name is Coach Lucas, and I am a current M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Kutztown University. I received my B.A. in Psychology and played NCAA baseball at Albright College. I also played AAU basketball growing up, and I still play recreationally. Following my career as a starting pitcher, I created and served in the role of Mental Health and Performance, and Pitching Coach for the Albright College Baseball Team, developing programming on Mindfulness Skills and Values-Based Goal Setting, working with players individually, and recruiting high school athletes. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted IRB research on the Perceived Effectiveness of Factors Related to Athlete Preparedness. I am now working as a Graduate Assistant for Student-Athlete Development at Kutztown University, programming initiatives to enhance student-athlete experience, including issuing my presentation "An Athlete's Guide to Mental Health and Performance". For the last four summers, I have worked as a Camp Counselor at local baseball camps, working with youth athletes to improve their skills, manage emotional conflicts, and enjoy the game of baseball. I've spent two years coaching 15 and 16U travel baseball teams. I also run my own social media page for performance and well-being on the side (@isoluwill on Instagram and TikTok). I have years of experience coaching baseball at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels, and have specialized as a Mental Performance Coach in both my practical and research experience. I am passionate about being a resource to help athletes with mental health and performance struggles

How I can help you improve your game:
I utilize mindfulness skills stemming from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a branch of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In my year as an Undergraduate Intern in private practice therapy, I learned ACT and how to apply it to athletes, focusing on noticing, naming, and anchoring when challenging thoughts or emotions arise, and on creating room for them rather than trying to push them away. My focus is on helping athletes return to the present moment during their sport and in their daily lives, which is where performance thrives.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typical sessions will include discussing presenting problems, identifying obstacles and support, the implementation of mindfulness skills, and outlining a plan moving forward.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was the Friday night starter at Albright College, pitching over 110 innings in my career
Best coach I ever had:
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm a caring, dedicated individual looking to serve as a resource to improve athletes' performance and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
